If you haven’t heard about it yet, you really need to look into Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite & Beyond. This fan-made mod spearheaded by popular streamer and content creator Maximilian is making some big changes to the 2017 Versus series fighter, and after just three months of work it is already looking like a brand new game.
The team behind the mod ran a live stream last week that showcased gameplay for all characters, as well as provided a fresh look at the new visuals and balance changes. Toward the end of the broadcast, Max had the best Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite players around jump into an online lobby and run the mod to give viewers the best look at all of the changes that he could provide, and today we have these matches here for everyone to enjoy.
Let’s run through a few things about this upcoming mod before we get into the matches.
Firstly (and obviously), Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite & Beyond is overhauling the game’s visuals. Instead of the realistic graphics style the original game went with, Beyond aims for a much more comic book-style look with heavy black outlines and bright, vibrant colors.
In addition to the visuals, some balance changes were also made to the game. Max notes that the goal was to keep the top tiers intact and give them minimal changes while mainly focusing on characters who needed improvements most.
The balance changes are currently available for everyone to try out, and the team behind the mod is wanting to hear your feedback on them. That said, the visual mod is still unavailable to the masses as it is still heavily in development.
With Max at the helm of the lobby, the players competing here are using the new balance change mod, but aren’t seeing the updated visuals on their end. However, because Max does have the graphics mod in place, he was able to stream the matches with the new visuals so that viewers can get an idea of what Beyond might look like when its all finished and high level players start putting real time into it.
There are some exceptional plays to witness here and everything looks even better with the new visuals in tow. Be sure to check out all of the high level Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite & Beyond matches below, and head over to Max’s YouTube channel for more information on the upcoming mod.
